New Port Master Plan The current Port Master Plan dates back to 1957; 24 variants have since been made. A new three-stage Plan is currently in the process of being approved that will add 200 hectares of new space to the docks, involving the following main construction projects:

“ Elongation of Pier VII for container terminals“ Logistics platform“ Pier VIII “ Ro-Ro Terminal Noghere

EMAS environmental certificationThe Port Authority, assisted by the Sustainable Development Foundation chaired by Edo Ronchi, has initiated procedures to join the EU’s advanced envi-ronmental certification system known as EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme), which will allow the Authority to assess and improve its environmen-

Development planstal performance and ensure optimal sustainable development of port traffic, in line with its overall mission.

Concession of the Old Free Zone areasWork is in progress to approve the creation of long-term concessions over 22 lots of buildings, areas and water expanses within the Old Free Zone, which can be used not only for port-related commercial activities but also for complementary activities, as envisaged by the 2007 Variant to the Port Master Plan for the Old Free Zone, such as administrative offices, restaurants and hotels, recreational boating, shipbuilding and associated services, training and research, and so on.The Old Free Zone of Trieste is a port area without equal in the world. Located close to the city centre, it stretches 3 km along the seafront over an area of 67 hectares, with more than a million cubic metres of buildings - many of which historically important - and equipment, which at the time of installation was at the very forefront of port technology.

The Port of Trieste is one of the 23 Italian ports with a Port Authority, a non-profit public body that administers public marine areas falling under its territorial jurisdiction, by directing, planning, coordinating, promoting and controlling port operations and other commercial and industrial activities carried out in the port. To improve services for port operators and optimise

the use and management of the Port’s buildings and infrastructure, the Trieste Port Authority has set up a number of subsidiary companies and non-profit foundations:

Trieste Terminal Passeggeri S.p.a. This company manages marine passenger terminals and related support services operating out of the Bersaglieri Pier cruise terminal, the Pier IV local ferry terminal and the Berth 57 international ferry terminal.

Porto di Trieste Servizi S.p.a.This company provides services of general interest: water supply network, ships water supplies, cleaning of port areas and water expanses, port electricity network, maintenance and design of the Port’s technological, computer and data systems.

Adriafer S.r.l. This company is the sole operator permitted to move rail wagons and trains within the Port, through “synergic” organisation with rail freight carriers and all of the Terminal Operators working in the Port of Trieste.

Istituto di Cultura Marittimo Portuale di TriesteThe mission of this foundation is to promote the Port of Trieste’s cultural and mo-numental heritage by opening it up for public use and by providing maritime and port-related vocational training programmes.

Alpe Adria S.p.a.This company is a multimodal transport operator, also part owned by Friulia S.p.a. and Trenitalia S.p.a., which organises and handles intermodal and combined transportation of goods and consignments through coordinated management of rail, road and sea carriers.

Located in the heart of Europe, at the intersection between shipping routes and the Baltic-Adriatic and Mediterranean TEN-T core network corridors, the Port of Trieste is an international hub for overland and sea trade with the dynamic market of Central and Eastern Europe. The intensification of trade and maritime traffic between the Far East and

Europe and the eastward enlargement of the European Union have revived the importance of the Upper Adriatic, opening up new growth and development op-portunities for Trieste. In this context, Trieste plays a decisive role in two separate supply chains: long-distance intercontinental maritime transportation and short/medium-distance intra-Mediterranean trade. The convergence of the TEN-T strategic axes of the “East Mediterranean Motorways of the Sea” with the Baltic-Adriatic and Mediterranean Corridors is resulting in the growth of intermodal services and the development of innovative solutions in the field of logistics and transportation. Trieste is the terminus of regular direct ocean transportation servi-ces provided by the world’s main shipping lines to China, the Far East, Singapore

and Malaysia, with stops in several other ports in the Mediterranean Basin (Al-bania, Slovenia, Croatia, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Lebanon, Israel, and so on). More than 160 trains a month link Trieste to the manufacturing and industrial areas of North-East Italy and Central Europe, with different destinations, such as Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Switzerland and Luxembourg, to serve a deve-loping and highly organised economic hinterland. To reach the target markets in Central and Eastern Europe, highly specialised intermodal services have been de-veloped, using direct trains organised by the company Alpe Adria S.p.A., a multi-client operator, which offers all-inclusive packages with guaranteed delivery and frequency. Deep water up to 18 metres, great ease of access for shipping, excellent road and rail links, proximity to markets, the special Free Port regime and effi-cient, sustainable port services make the Port of Trieste a competitive destination. Compared with North European ports, the Port of Trieste allows a five-day saving on routes between Europe and East Asia. For a fleet of 6,000 TEU container vessels this translates into a saving of over USD 25 million a year in freight and fuel costs.
